Gt30r Upgrade To R33 Gtst

[bazr33]

Hi guys

after alot of discussion i had with the gt3540, i ended up selling it as the rear housing was going to be too big for my liking on the street.

So changing my mind every 5 secs, i went with the gt30r turbo, having it high mounted, wide mouth dump, 44mm external wastegate.

With ppl that "have" done this setup, whats the go with putting on a braided water return line (runs from the back oof the block) ?

Can it be cut and a connector go onto the existing water line, or does it have to be removed altogether and put a whole new braided line on, hopefully this makes sense. Just looking at the water line, im trying to figure out how ya get the friggin line off?

Also, ppl that have gt30r with the .82 rear, what power have you made on your r33, ( i was going through the rb25det upgrade page, but most ppl dont specify what rear housing they have, and just want to know if ppl are making it close to the 400rwhp.

Also if you have pics of your high mount setup with this turbo, and any altercations along the way, that you had to deal with?

I have all fuel mods done, FMIC, AVCR, Z32 afm, 3" exhaust, with hiflow cat.

Also considering cams later on after this has been done

Thanks

Yes you can cut the steel pipe and fit olive fittings.

The turbo is capable 350+ rwkw but don't think a stock motor will let you achieve that type of figures.

If you do get the turbo, go for the v-band exhaust housing.....everything else is straight forward.

sweet as, thats what i needed to know

would a person that deal with making custom braided oil and water lines, know how to do this?

i will be looking at getting cams later, hopefully, but if engine goes bang then rebuild will be last resort

Yeah some like enzed or pirtek will know what to do.

bazr33 - I made 400 rwhp with that same turbo, 0.82 ex housing, 550cc injs, Q45 AFM, Apexi PFC, 24 psi.

Mine had prepped 26 rods, and forged pistons and braided lines :-)

have a read of my adventure -

300rwkw with standard internals.

Are you 100% sure mate this turbo would be caperbale of 350rwkw with only a .5 front cover?

sorry mate but there is no chance it will make 350rwkw. They aren't big enough. And they certainly won't do that with a 0.5 cover.

ash made just over 360rwkw with a 600 hp with probably similar specs, dont see why not ?

[Dale FZ1]

Paul you would know better than many/most that all GT30s are not created equal. It covers a HUGE range of mass-flow and performance capabilities. Just because Ash achieved such a large figure doesn't follow that everyone will.

The 0.50 comp cover tells us little about the compressor ASSEMBLY. What size impeller is this thing running? Off the shelf you can spec 71, 76 and 82mm, with a variety of trims and specs. And assuming that it has the 60mm turbine rotor, what A/R is the turbine housing?

The only thing that is a certainty is that the specs of each side will determine the mass-flow throughput potential, and efficiency. But it will be the TUNE that determines ultimately what it makes

we made 370rwkw with WI on our old rb25/30 using .82 gt3040.
